Coos and Essex Fair.

On another page will be found an
advertisement of the eighteenth
annual fair Of the Coos and Essex
Agricultural Society, to be held at
Lancaster, N. H., Tuesday, We'd
uesday aud Thursday, September
Is, IA and Is. The people of the
two counties have been little back
ward in past years in supporting
these annual fairs, but now let us
join unreservedly and lend helping
hand to make the fair this year an
unqualified success. Do not be
lukewarm; do not say eve hope it
will be a success" but come out
boldly and manfully, throw aside
every feeling that would in the least
antagonize the enterprise, and work
earnestly for its success. No one
should through personal feeling re-
fuse to do all in his power to further
the interests of the fair this year. 1t
is not an individual enterprise, but
it is an enterprise in which the
whole of Coos and Essex counties
are interested, and its unbounded
success should be the interest, the
hope, and determination Of every
one of our citizens.

1t is to be hoped, for the reputa-
tion of humanity, that the acts of
vandalism reported i'll connection
with the awful accident near Chats
worth are exaggerated. We are
told that gangs of thieves went
about pillaging the dead and dying
victims Of the slaughter. 1t is in
credible to believe that our quiet
country communities are capable of
producing such inhuman ghouls.
That some Of the victims were rob-
bed there seems to b. no room for
doubt, and the authorities should
not rest until the guilty creatures
are duly punished. 1t is no wonder,
when such things are possible, that
outraged humanity wreaks sudden
vengeance by taking the law into
its own hands.

tributaLle to the perfdy of the man
Cox who sold the same property
twice, and who pocketed the money
and has gene to enjoy bis ill-gotten
gains.
We take the following tribute to
his memory from the Boulder, (Col.,)
Sentinel:
Died, at his mill at Elk Park, John
w. DolloG, aged 81 years, eleven
months and q days. Manly and
honest in all his dealings, and ever
ready with kind word or deed to
all in trouble. The entire commun-
ity mourn the loss of good man.
Deceased leaves a widow, three
children, two brothers and two sis
tiers, to whom he was all a loving
husband, father or brother could he.
The remains were inferred in the
masonic cemetery, escorted to their
last resting place by a represen-
tatlve number of masons. Not
little sorrow was expressed at so
untimely an end to the life of 50
popular citizen, and the funeral
cortege gave expression to the sen.
tlments actuating the community,

A SEA GULL'S STRATAGEM.
Trying to Break Mussel on the Head
OF an Ornithologist.
From the San Francisco Eraminer.


From the San Francisco Examiner.
81 had very singular experience last
Sunday" said a tradesman, whose shop in
Oakland is adorned by the sign, "Ornitho-
logical Rarities, but who, on pinch, would
sell dog or a rabbit. II was walking on
the beach, not very far from the Cliff House,
and had Just noticed that an unusually
large number of sea grills were flying over
the sands, when hard substance struck me
violently upon the head and staggered me.
Luckily my hat was very thick and
| am blessed with tolerably solid skull.
So soon recovered myself, and was look
ing about to ascertain what had hit me,
when was greatly startled by weird and
ghostly fluttering Of wings foot above me.
A great gray gull had narrowly escaped
alighting upon my shoulders. He Just sue
ceeded in checking his impetuous descent as
his feet almost touched me. With queer
kind Of half frightened cry he was again
into the air. But what has brought him so
close to me! i soon found out. Lying on
the sand was the thing that had given me
blow upon the head. 1t was large black
mus5el, and the sea gull had dropped it from
a dizzy height upon my unoffending scalp.
| have studied the habits of these birds
pretty carefully, and know worry well why
he had done it. He was trying to get at his
dinner, and as the smell III Jne muSSel was
still unbroken and / wished to see him try
again | walked a couple of hundred yard
away and turned TO watch his movements.
Seeing that the coast was clear, he quickly
flew back TO the place where the mussel had
fallen, seized it in his beak, and, again ris-
ing high into the air, he let it drop He
followed il closely as it fell, keeping almost
beside it during the greater part Of the de
scent. and only moderating his downward
rush when he was in danger of dashing him
self upon the beach. The mussel struck the
sand, but the shell was still unbroken, and,
indeed. il was very evident to me that the
soft ground that received it wonld never
lay it open Then ! flung the mussel TO
distance, and the gull, seeming to take this
as hint that my head was not chopping-
block, seized his troublesome delicacy and
flew away. ] saw him turn little inland,
rise once more to great height, dart swift
ly down, and then wing his way out to sea:
/ found that many stones lay at the place OF
his last descent: so, doubtless, his persever.
ance was at length rewarded, and he had
gone off 10 some lonely rock to dine"

Flush Days for Followers of the Art
Preventative in Colorado.
A Denver letter to the New York Mail
and Cypress gives some interesting remi-
niscences of the old days in that section,
and the ups and downs of frontier life.
There was great rush for job printing and
prices were steep. They got $40 per one
thousand cards, Il tier heads, envelopes, and
50 on, and as stock was scarce and they
wanted to accommodate everybody thew
gave only two hundred or three hundred
cards or letter heads, as the case might be,
to the thousand. They were soon taking in
between $500 and 5000 day for job work,
and in exciting times they had to keep the
press running as late as IL o'clock at night
to supply the demand for papers. An
amusing story is told by Col. Atkins, which
illustrates the go-as-you-please manner in
which they charged for work.
One evening as the men were washing up
to go home stranger dropped in and said
he wanted a job of printing done, and he
wanted it that night. Col. Atkins told him
it would be impossible to let him have it,
but he insisted that he must have it. and
expressed willingness to pay literally. He
explained what he wanted-ten cards. the
size of playing cards, nine with the num-
bers on them, from TO 8, and then a single
one WIN " on IL. Inc JOD was taken, and
they were to send The cards and bill to Tom
Kemp's saloon and the gambling hall.
where the stranger would be waiting for
them at o'clock. They took a planer and
mallet and printed the cards in five minutes
Then Atkins, Burned and Davis went to
supper.
''Whatn we tax him for that jobe" Davis
asked
How will $40 doY inquired Burnell, cor
would he think it too much!n
'Ten nothingsr' said Atkins. "Why,
charge something for our trouble-make out
a bill for sos"
Davis and Burnell were afraid, but the
bill was made out, and Atkins agreed to
collect it. He went to Tom Kemp's saloon
at o'clock and the stranger was there.
"Have you got 'em" he asked, coming
close to Arkin and whispering in his ear.

"Here."
A thin package changed hands, and the
gambler put them into his pocket.

Twenty five dollars
The money was counted out and Atkins
receipted the bill and turned to go, when the
stranger caught his arm and said:
